Did they change the API fees at Reddit? I thought stuff like that was supposed to be impossible now.

The developer doesn’t use the api, they’re using Reddit’s free JSON endpoint

What’s the difference?

I don’t really understand it since I know almost nothing about programming. But if I understand it correctly (which I probably don’t) the JSON endpoint is just a static set of information you can pull data from? While the API would be able to read and write data and have more precise information pulled. Not sure though because you can comment and vote from the extension so it’s somewhat interactive still
